I’ve been able to focus more on triathlon training this year since post-surgery recovery, and in January I started getting back into it. Six months of working out consistently totally paid off for my first triathlon of the summer! Jim came along to cheer me on so we got some photos too.
Here I am getting ready to head into the water…
And here I am, 1:45 later! My time from this course last year was 2:02 – so I finished a whole 17 minutes ahead. It was a pretty amazing feeling!
I felt strong during the race, and Jim got me a sensor for my bike for my birthday that really helped me keep my pace and cadence correct. So when I got off the bike and realized I just had to jog a normal 5k run and would finish well before the two hour mark, I was super excited. It turns out, I really enjoy triathlons!
